About the Artist

I came to Los Angeles from El Salvador in 2022, carrying nothing but hope, faith, and the belief that I was meant for something greater. But like many immigrants, I quickly learned that survival comes before dreams. I worked job after job—cleaning bathrooms at SoFi Stadium, washing seats, laying floors in construction, stacking boxes in warehouses—jobs that left my body tired but my spirit still burning with purpose.

Every shift, every late night, every moment covered in dust or sweat reminded me of the same truth: I was living far from my dreams, but I wasn’t far from my destiny. Even when people only saw a laborer, God reminded me there was a gift inside me—an artist, a creator, someone who wanted to build something meaningful.

My project was born in those hidden, humble places where many immigrants stand every day. It’s dedicated to the dreamers who leave their home country, their parents, their comfort, and arrive in a new land with nothing guaranteed… except their determination. It’s for those who have to wear boots or aprons to survive but carry a designer’s heart, an artist’s vision, a creator’s fire.

As immigrants, we face doubt, sacrifice, loneliness, and moments where giving up seems easier. But every morning we open our eyes is another chance to keep going. And that is the message of my story:

You can keep going. Even when people laugh. Even when you feel stuck. Even when you have no support but God.

I created this project to remind others like me that dreams don’t die in the struggle—they are shaped by it. When you trust God, embrace your purpose, and honor the gift you were born with, something powerful happens: your pain becomes strength, your journey becomes art, and your life becomes inspiration for others.
